In this video we talk about what I call the abandonment loop: the vicious cycle in which the more we try to get people to like us, the more we subtly undermine our own inner authority. This cascades into us both pushing other people away from us (as we no longer have our own authentic energy to attract them) and sabotaging our own inner relationships with ourselves (because we are in a loop of denying our true selves in favor of what other people think)

Let's talk about how this works, why it happens, and what we can do about it!

    I have been dumped after 26 years relationship , four months later , I am working hard on myself to be a better person , for sooo many years I realised I have put my ex , in front of me , and myself in the background , and this is the result. I am trying really bad , I am trying to succeed. Wish me luck , I deserve it!

    I'm grateful that this video popped up on my feed. You mentioned two things that I've been trying to work through; breaking the cycle from going into the world with a begging cup for validation & approval and instead cultivating it within myself; giving myself permission to "take up space in this world and the right to simply exist. Thank you Andrew for making me feel less like a failed fool & more like someone on an adventure. Great wisdom, great facial expressions & great visual optics💫

    I found, that I usually was always the one being dumped. My relationships were never longer then a few months. Whenever I fell in love deeply, somehow believing this would never end, it did. I lost myself in that fear of abandonment and in that vision of who I was with this person by my side. Never thinking about who I am without them. And this is the energy I probably gave off at some point, which made me push them away unfortunately… thank you for the video. I will try to travel by myself now. It’s something I was always afraid of but there are so many things I wanted to see!
